Authorities stress that everyone should remain in protected locations.
Authorities have issued an all-clear, confirming that the situation is currently under control and that residents can resume normal activities.
Earlier today, the Ministry of Defence confirmed that UAE air defence systems were actively responding to incoming missile and drone threats launched from Iran amid ongoing regional hostilities.
Residents are advised to continue staying in safe locations and to follow official channels for updates and alerts as the situation evolves.
What residents should do during emergency alerts
- Prioritize safety over filming: Do not record or post videos on social media during alerts. Follow official instructions immediately.
- Motorists should keep moving: Continue driving safely to your destination. Only seek shelter once you arrive; do not stop vehicles on the road.
- Seek secure locations: Go directly to a safe location or stay indoors until an official ‘all clear’ is issued.
- Use emergency hotlines responsibly: Call 999 only for genuine emergencies to keep lines open for critical cases.
- Avoid spreading rumours: Do not share unverified information online. Rely solely on official channels for updates.
